Aaron Gordon

When the NBA's 2015 free agency period begins Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., much of the attention will focus on where Marc Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love will go and how the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks will attempt to harness their abundant salary-cap space.

Nationally, the Orlando Magic are almost out of sight, out of mind.

And, yet, the days ahead will be crucial to the Magic's rebuilding efforts. The team will enter free agency with perhaps $15.2 million of cap space available and a key decision to make about one of their own players, restricted free agent-to-be Tobias Harris.
